With a snort of disdain, Jebediah casts Seamantle, causing a column of water to engulf him, and then moves forward to engage the huge giant.
By my math, in am 25' away from the giant, and should theoretically be out of its reach, when I cast the spell. Please move me to the 'North' of the giant. I am aware this will provoke, but am hoping that my new AC of 51 will mitigate the dangers inherent to that.
Griff takes some damage and Sharton heals some. (Heal for 5 Sharton, and Griff takes 5)
Shump is still down 27 HP, so I believe you will also take 5 points for him as well.

The celestials unleash a flurry of attacks upon the giant, with several aimed at vulnerable areas. Unfortunately, the giant shifts just in time and deflects all of the blows with his armor.
All attacks miss, critical threats do not hit the giant's AC and also miss.

Jebediah the aqua-dino now splooshes over to the hallway north of the Rune Giant. It does attempt a slash at him, but is caught off guard by the concealing aspects of Jebediah's watery protection.
Meanwhile, the Storm Giants back in the chamber continue their assault on Sharton's wall of force; the barrier giving off a rather severe cracking noise as the giants damage it further. Barrier takes 121 points after hardness.

Grognar opens his mind to his patron for the first time. He does not know if it is Iomedae or some other creature.
Grognar grows large, shrouded in white light he stand before the giants expecting to feel like a paragon of law, but instead is filled with chaos. Divine Vessel Anarchic aspect. I will update my stat line tonight.
Grognar is in -3b and -2b under the giant. I can't make his icon bigger.

Sharton's eyes roll up into his head as the magic missiles strike him, but only for a moment. He stirs as Griff's life link absorbs some of the damage away, and then he comes awake with a sudden gasp as the heal completely removes all damage. With a grateful nod to the also invisible Griff, Sharton flies down lower to the ground and behind Grognar, then readies to cast contagion of flame at the two storm giants as soon as the wall of force inevitably crumbles shortly. Hopefully Grognar will provide some cover against the giants in the narrow hallway, while the rune giant and lillends might provide cover from the wizard and bone devil approaching from the other side.

Shump, only your first and last attack will hit factoring flanking; both appear to do full damage. Sharton, if no action from Ezren by tomorrow (Tuesday 9/25) @ 7AM EDT, you will have until 7PM that day to perform any botting actions he mentioned in the discussion thread; I will perform botting after 7PM if no actions posted.

Yea, Sorry for the delay. Busy and posting from phone. Back home late Saturday.
Shump manages to sneak in two strikes past the Rune Giant's defenses, causing it to roar out in pain.
Meanwhile, Grognar and Sharton spot off towards the far end of the throne chamber two huge fleshy creatures float through the air around the corner of a hallway. (Each one appears to have 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 copies of itself around it)
A more wordy description of these creatures:
This creature’s appearance is accompanied by the sound of retching and wet, flapping flesh. A thing of corpulent terror, it drags its swollen bulk spastically—a body composed of a sack-like mass of stitched flesh swollen almost to bursting. The iron staples that hold it together strain as if ready to burst asunder. The giant creature’s maw is vast, with a huge, lolling tongue writhing between rows of broken teeth. Its head and torso are a travesty of a humanoid atop a twisted leonine body that is little more than a pulpy mass of shattered limbs and sinew under its monstrously obese upper body. It drags itself along the ground with two clawing forepaws — straining limbs that seemingly struggle to free themselves from beneath the thing’s horrid girth.
Knowledge (Dungeoneering) DC 25:
These creatures are known as Hungerers, typically arising from a lamia matriarch cursing an unfortunate lamia into the current fleshy state you see before you. They typically have spell resistance, are immune to acid and poison, and resistant to electric/fire. They also possess a moderate amount of illusion, enchantment, and conjuration spell-like abilities. May ask 1 additional question for every 5 above the DC.
The Rune Giant in the chamber assists the Storm Giants in attacking the barrier with his longsword.
The wall of force finally shatters, which is immediately followed by a barrage of fiery beams unleashed by the waiting Sharton. The beams squarely strike the Storm Giants, burning them rather effectively.
Dispel Check:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19
The man flying in the area weaves his hands in intricate arcane gestures, and attempts to rip apart the watery magic protecting Jebediah. Unfortunately for him, the seamantle appears to be too complex for this wizard to unravel. Snarling with frustration, the wizard darts through the air back around the corner of the hallway out of sight. The devil seems to snap out of its stupor and weaves its clawed hands through the air as it trails cold mist. A crackling wall of ice begins to erupt out of the ground to block the hallway; possibly separating Grognar/Sharton/Griff from their allies.
DC 18 Reflex Save from Griff if he would like to try to interrupt the ice formation, otherwise the wall of ice that appears will block the hallway up to a height of 40 feet (ceiling here is 50 feet, leaving a 10 foot gap).
The Rune Giant in the hallway take a step to the southeast, and causes one of its numerous runes on its body to erupt in a shower of sparks that sprays over Shump, some Lillends, and the emergency force sphere. As this occurs, all of the runes on its body abruptly flare with light; possibly blinding those nearby!
Using the weird/awkward alternate 30-foot cone shape, the Rune Giant uses its Spark Shower on Shump, the blue and green Lillend, and technically the force sphere as collateral. DC 29 Reflex Save for 1/2 damage. Additionally, the flashing runes can cause blindness to those within 10 feet of it; so I will also need a DC 24 Fortitude Save from Shump/Blue and Green Lillend/Jebediah to avoid being blinded for 1 round.

Jebediah pounces at the devil and quickly eviscerates it after his 3rd talon attack. The lillends bravely attack, though the Green one appears blinded, but are completely unable to pierce the Rune Giant's defenses.
Meanwhile, the two Storm Giants adjust 5 feet up the hall towards Grognar. The Blue Storm Giant appears to be waiting for something, as Grognar appears out of its reach, while the Red one attempts to make a flurry of attacks on the half-orc. The giant only is able to slip one attack through Grognar's defenses. 22 damage after DR to Grognar.

Aid saving throws against debilitating effects (paralysis, dominate, blind, possession and save or suck that will take anyone out of the fight. Condition: roll below 5 if the PC has a particularly weak save roll below 8. OR when requested by a pc at my discretion.
Enemy saving throw when requested by another PC. Usually when a weak save has been identified and targeted. Condition: 15 or higher is rolled. If the enemy seems to be a leader/ general/ or particularly powerful reroll 10 or higher.
Attacks, critical threats when casters are ~50% or less and melee PCs are ~30% or less. [b] Condition: Assume that crit means natural 20 until there is a demonstration or identification of keen, high crit weapon or improved crit then adjust accordingly.
Something completely unforeseen. Beg to let me use the ability, and then the Gm agrees.
*For HP percentages I’m giving approximations. If a pc starts at 51% the first attack is a crit and there are 5 more attack coming that meets spirit of the threshold.
Shump delivers several powerful strikes to the Rune Giant, splaying its blood in all directions. The creature still remains on its feet, though it definitely appears bloodied and much weaker than before. Your 1st, 2nd, and hasted attack hit.
Grognar, filled with a font of chaotic energy, slices the Storm Giant to pieces with his weapon. He would have been bleeding out after all those attacks instead of dead...if he hadn't been zapped by fiery lasers earlier ;)

I am back home from my travels and am just sitting down to catch up with my games. It seems I am up. Is that correct? I'd appreciate this afternoon to post. I need to review the map and status of the fight. And I think that closer rune giant is dead, right?

Yes, I see that now. Had to read and re-read the game posts to follow even though GM Irish202 is doing an awesome job at managing this chaos. Gonna need some arbitration on my summon GM Irish202 as I am summoning an elder earth elemental (Huge) in the stone that I am standing on. I'd like to have it flank with Shump. Your first call is can I summon it so that its in the stone and if so how far away? So it will either attach from where it was summoned in the stone adjacent to me without flank or in the stone behind the creature to flank with Shump. It can 5' adjust in the stone and still full attack.
Ezren finishes his spell concentration and a creature of earth and stone bursts forth to attack the Rune Giant closest to his sphere.
Meanwhile the imp will cast Resist Electricity on Ezren while he dimensionlly shifts to atop the wall of ice (flying so not touching it.) and casts Maze on second rune Giant.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Earth Glide (Ex)
A burrowing earth elemental can pass through stone, dirt, or almost any other sort of earth except metal as easily as a fish swims through water. If protected against fire damage, it can even glide through lava. Its burrowing leaves behind no tunnel or hole, nor does it create any ripple or other sign of its presence. A move earth spell cast on an area containing a burrowing earth elemental flings the elemental back 30 feet, stunning the creature for 1 round unless it succeeds on a DC 15 Fortitude save.
Earth Mastery (Ex)
An earth elemental gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls if both it and its foe are touching the ground. If an opponent is airborne or waterborne, the elemental takes a –4 penalty on attack and damage rolls. These modifiers apply to bull rush and overrun maneuvers, whether the elemental is initiating or resisting these kinds of attacks. (These modifiers are not included in the statistics block.)
Meanwhile the imp will cast Resist Electricity on Ezren while he dimensionlly shifts to atop the wall of ice (flying so not touching it.) and casts Maze on second rune Giant.
We all already have Resist Electricity and Cold (thank you), I'm pretty sure you mean Resist Fire since the Rune Giants emit a cone of mixed fire/electric. You and I also need to further identify more info on those hungerers approaching, now that you can see them.

Yes, meant fire. Sorry about that one. Its from a wand, so only 10 points, but that can help. Grognar, I think Ezren can now see the creatures so he can try. Not sure what Arcana check you want. I cannot even see the wizard now.
Knowledge arcana covers spell effects that are currently in place this usually includes spell-like abilities have been per cast or are constant, which seems like a possibility here as they are clearly aware we are here, as well as items that provide spell effects.

I certainly do not mind rolling. Not sure what to expect. With a take 10 I get a 43 but will roll.
Thank for rolling we may get nothing only the GM knows.
At this level I find freedom of movement, miss chance spells, air walk and fly spells, certain aura spells, shield, anti-life shells, see invis/ other divination, blade barrier, polymorph any object,resist energy, haste all come up as spell like abilities.
Even finding say shield vs shield of faith and can tell you expect different types of offenses spells.

You must have line of sight to summon your creature, meaning you cannot summon it into the stone unless you possess the ability to see through stone. However, you can swift action prior to completing your spell out of the sphere onto the top of the ice wall and then summon it wherever (placed opposite of Shump since you indicated preferring flanking). In regards to attacking from out of stone with earth glide, my opinion is that you will have 50% concealment if you are fully in stone; tremorsense gives location but not pinpoint targeting. You may either attack fully within the stone (with 50% miss-chance but unable to be attacked afterwards), partially in the stone (with 20% concealment and improved cover bonus to element's defense), or entirely in the open (as usual). However, you will find that the above opinion's relevance at the moment is minimal for reasons below.
You can barely see the floating flesh creatures through the various giants blocking your line of sight. You know everything posted in the previous spoiler at the beginning of Round 10 (9/26), as well as that its defenses are best pierced by cold iron and piercing weapons. Its huge maw contains viciously sharp teeth, that deal 4 times damage on a critical hit and can possibly kill a target out right on such a hit. Any time someone injures it, it sprays caustic blood that can possibly deal acid damage to those around it. Despite their large and fleshy girth, effects that target its fortitude would have the best statistical chance of success; though not by a large margin.
Ezren pops out of his defensive sphere and is joined shortly by a mighty earth elemental summoned by his magic (which immediately appears to become incredibly derpy as the protection field zaps its mind). The creature appears next to the Rune Giant, beginning to sink slightly into the stone floor beneath it for cover. However, with an almost comedic "sproing" noise, the elemental gets shunted out of the floor with a very confused look in its granite eye sockets. It does not seem deterred by this, delivering an one-two punch to the Rune Giant next to it. The first hit leave the giant reeling, while the second hit connects squarely in the Giant's chin; causing the creature to tumble to the ground unconscious in a gigantic crash of golden full-plate. Flanking was needed to hit both times
Meanwhile, Ezren calls down powerful magic upon the other Rune Giant; banishing it from the area into an ever-shifting maze of endless corridors. Further in the chamber beyond, the remaining Storm Giant emerges back into view; accompanied by what appears to be a large sized creature, with the beautiful top half of a humanoid woman and the lower half of a lion. This creature too appears to have several copies of itself around it (# of Copies):1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7)). Finally, the fleshy floaty creatures float forward some more to get a better distance on the combat. One of them is surrounded by a disgusting green light, and abruptly the area around Grognar is filled with a green mist that obscures sight. Shortly afterwards, the sound of the two massive golden doors closing can be heard.

Everyone receives in their minds. <<The Rune giant that vanished is not dead, it is only in a maze on another plane. It will be back and will be just as deadly as when it left. Perhaps we should retreat slightly to only have one front?>>
In terms of visible spell-effects that you can decipher, you are aware of the following prior to the misty cloud covering much of your line of vision: Rune Giant (Air Walk), Storm Giant (Call Lightning, Levitate), Hungerer (Fly, Mirror Image, Stinking Cloud), Lion Ladies (Mirror Image, Shield of Faith, Protection from Good), Grumpy Wizard (Shield, Overland Flight or Fly, Stoneskin, Haste). If you spend time using detect magic or arcane sight, I can give you more active buffs.

Ezren has his companion share the spoilered information about both the new threats and the buffs. Unsure how fast that can he shared so he starts with the DR, SR, immunities and resistances, and the acid stuff.
Male Human Illusionist/15 Investigator/1 | HP 115/115 | AC 19| T 15 | FF 16 | CMD 21 | F +14 | R +16 | W +19 | Init +7 | Perc +27 (+1 traps) | Sen Mot +11 | Greater Invis 6/15 rds | Inspiration 8/8 | Bonded Item 0/1 | Reroll 0/1 (+5) | Active Spells: Haste, Heightened Awareness, Mind Blank, Heroism, Stoneskin, Life Bubble, Resist Fire/Cold/Electric/Acid/Sonic 30, Mage Armor, Overland Flight, Darkvision, See Invisibility, Endure Elements (ring), True Seeing, Arcane Sight
Sharton will start with some of the knowledge checks first.
Knowledge (dungeoneering):1d20 + 15 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 15 + (3) = 20 for the hungerers
Knowledge (nature):1d20 + 16 + 1d6 ⇒ (12) + 16 + (3) = 31 for the half-lion ladies
He's trying to recall things like resistances, immunities, SR, DR, and special attacks.
Sharton will fly up until he's just above the green cloud so that he can direct the next set of scorching rays out of the storm giants, which is a free action.
Two scorching rays blast out of the red storm giant to strike the blue storm giant.
Do I need a Fort save against the green cloud? Fort save:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
Sharton looks further up the hall. Are the doors actually closed? If not, then he'll shoot the other two scorching rays from blue storm giant at blue hungerer. If the doors are closed, he'll look to see if there's anything else that can be targeted. Too bad I can't loop the rays out of blue giant right back into him.
Sharton still has two scorching rays and a standard action left, but that will depend on what he sees. If the doors are closed he'll ready a spell should another opponent reappear.
You believe that these fleshy blob creatures are actually a failed Runelord experiment, mixing an ooze with a humanoid creature resulting in something hideously aberrant. On second thought, you think it's just better to ask Ezren.
Knowledge Nature (Sharton):
With your brief glimpse of the half-leontine females, you come to the conclusion that there is nothing natural at all about their existence. In fact, you feel it is very..aberrant. Actually would need Dungeoneering for the ladies.
No saves are needed for the cloud, as you all should have life bubble active. It is merely a...hindrance, if you will. I also apologize, as I forgot to mention that two clouds went off; I did not mention it as Sharton would not have seen the second appear due to being inside one himself, I forgot that Ezren would have had enough height at the top of the wall to spot it.
Spellcraft (Everyone but Jeb/Shump):
It appeared that the hungerers cast a quickened stinking cloud
As Sharton flies out of the cloud to get a better aim on the Storm Giant, he will also see that the latter half of the hallway is covered with more sickly mist that partially conceals the giant.
Miss Chance (20% Low Miss):1d100 ⇒ 8 Miss Chance (20% Low Miss):1d100 ⇒ 3
His fiery rays strike at the walls, leaving sizzling scorch marks. Through the roiling mist, it appears that the doors behind mist are closed.

Thanks for reminding me about life bubble. And "thanks" for those 20% miss chance rolls, sheesh. :P EDIT: I also see that there's a corner of the giant that is NOT inside the cloud, so I'd like to target that portion, if I may.
On second thought, Sharton will spend his standard action to recall wall of force as I pull out his 2010 chronicle sheet for "Year of the Shadow Lodge" and check off the first Magic box.
Ezren, looking over your inventory, it does not look like Baal has any way to cast resist energy on you. I see several protection from energy items you can use, but not resist. Is this correct?

My further apologies. The hungerer's intent was to completely conceal any of his allies in the cloud. In my late night map updating, my tired brain forgot to snap the cloud token to the correct location; it would have been over far enough to grant concealment to the giant. The maps have been corrected and also updated; all token locations in the throne chamber are considered "last-known locations" until door/visibility situation is addressed.
Jebediah and Shump do not see the man in robes come from around the bend of the eastern side of the hallway. The Rune Giant collapsed in the hallway bleeds profusely over the marble tiles, its blood creating a jarring contrast from the black and white checkerboard motif.

Griff takes some damage from his comrades. Heal Grognar and Shump for 5, and Griff takes 10.
Standard Action
Griff plays it cool and just casts Cure Moderate Wounds on himself.
Cure Moderate Wounds:2d8 + 10 ⇒ (7, 6) + 10 = 23- So should be down 7 now.

Free Actions (All 3)
The lillends continue to stay strong, feeling better about how the battle is going now.
Countersong (Green):1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32
Standard Action
They all cast Invisibility on themselves once again, seeing that the giant next to them is down. (Let me know if that's not the case, but it looks like the elemental downed it)
They choose to remain where they are for now to not crowd the narrower hallway.

Yes, Protection, and not resist. Protection is better for Ezren anyway. Thanks for that catch. Is it correct to say that the elemental cannot earth glide through the walls or floor?
That would be my error regarding the Wall of Ice and Griff; I missed his reflex save from earlier and it would have been successful to prevent the Wall from completely forming. The Roll20 map has the wall taken off. Jebediah, if you would like to alter your action accounting for the absence of the wall, feel free.
Ezren, you will note that when the elemental attempted to move into the floor if was very visibly ejected from that surface after struggling for a moment; it would be logical to continue that assumption with regards to the walls, unless you would like to spend actions to research this issue further.
Grognar, Ezren, Shump:
You are welcome to take your actions after Jebediah indicates if he is changing his action or not. If Jeb moves to attack the Storm Giant, it will not be moving from its location and will be engaging him. If Jeb does not move to attack it, you all will hear coughing sounds and tromping noises that moves away towards the closed door.
The group hears the storm giant coughing slightly as it retreats back into the stinky cloud for cover. Meanwhile, Jebediah caves in the Rune Giant's skull to make sure it stays down.
Knowledge Dungeoneering (Sharton):
These leontine women are lamia matriarchs, an aberrant race that was cursed into their current forms. They are typically immune to mind-affecting effects, possess some spell resistance, as as a race can perform a variety of enchantment and illusion spell-like abilities. Matriarchs also possess spell-casting abilities the go beyond those normally granted to lesser members of their race. Lamias can also inflict wisdom drain as a touch attack. Can ask additional questions as needed.
